Great location. Rooms pretty basic.

The breakfast was good. Easy starting the day without thinking about where to go for breakfast. Good variety. They did run out of items during our stay. No butter and no bananas. The room was basic, no luxury. The bathroom was strange and small and very hard to maneuver. Staff were very nice. The location was perfect and we had no problem walking everywhere we wanted to.

We enjoyed our stay at Sultanhamet Palace Hotel. The location was so close to all the main historic sites in Istanbul. The staff was friendly. The first night, the pillows were too full for us so we took the pillow cases and put them on decorative pillows. The housekeeper noticed and provided us with flatter pillows without us having to ask. Our favorite spot was the balcony as we had a close up view of the blue Mosque and a view of the Bosphorus Strait. We were unable to get a larger room and our room was quite small and repairs were not done well. The biggest complaint would be the breakfast. We spent 1 week in Greece and 2 weeks in Turkey staying in several hotels with each including breakfast and this was the worst. We heard other people complaining. The bread was hard and stale, there was not much variety, the jams were not homemade and had little flavor. We even went out to eat breakfast the last day we were there because it was so disappointing. However, I would stay there again just for the location and staff.

My cousin and I had a wonderful experience. As two women traveling in Istanbul our biggest priority was safety and this hotel provided exactly that! All the staff were so kind and the location of the hotel was perfect for seeing all of the major sites. Thank you, Sultanahmet Palace Hotel for being apart of a great experience in Istanbul!

A perfect location in the historic part of Istanbul. Within 10 minutes walk of Blue Masque, Haghia Sofia, cistern, and Topkapi Palace with wide range of restaurants from Four Seasons rooftop to local quality and quick. Also easy tram (15 mins) to Kabatas harbour for cruises. Fantastic panoramic view from Junior Suite. Quiet street was unbelievable in central Istanbul. Clean, a palace. No lift but a grand staircase.

Great breakfast. Beautiful outdoor patio and garden areas. Staff was friendly and very helpful. Rooms were clean, beds were comfortable and it was nice to have complimentary bottled water supplied. Couldn't ask for a better location. Outside the front entrance, beautiful Blue Mosque and Arasta bazaar. Highly recommend.

First off, the location was superb. You can exit the hotel, walk across the street and enter the Arista Bazaar. The Hippodrome with all the historical buildings is a ten minute walk. The roomĺ was clean and the breakfast was fine for us as we don’t eat a lot in the morning. Smooth, hot Turkish tea was perfect. The staff was attentive to our needs altjough the language barrier was an issusca few times.

An absolute gem, the hotel was beautiful, the staff excellent. The location is ideal, right in the heart of Sultahmet, a lovely bazaar right outside the front and the views were amazing. The bed was one of the most comfortable I've ever slept in! The breakfast options were many and varied, there was something for everyone. So pleased I stayed here.

Beautiful views

We had a brief stay here when we decided to extend our layover to include a tour of Istanbul. Splurging on the room with water views was worth it! The breakfast buffet was better than most hotels. The additional shuttle to and from the airport was very convenient. And the location was great for our tour (very close to the Blue Mosque). I would consider staying here again if we return to Istanbul. Staff was very helpful and friendly.

The location is very good. Staffs are very nice. The only problem is they were still using those grey old towels in the bathroom. Beddings was with hole (look like cigarette burn hole) and stains. You may want to bring your own towels. Remember to press the button to turn on air conditioning every time you are back to your room. Internet speed is OK but not stable at night.
